Description

Projection type head lamp

Technical Field

The present invention relates to a head lamp, and more particularly, to a projector type head lamp.

Background

A projector Headlamp (PES) mainly includes a light source, a reflector, a light shielding plate, and a lens. Projection headlamps with light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as the light source can be moved in an electrically controlled manner, or else can be static or unmoved. The static light shading plate is mainly used for projecting the required far light or near light shape by matching with the switching of a far light source and a near light source through the proper design of the structure. Generally, a region with insufficient light is located above the cutoff line, which is called a dark region, and the light intensity in the dark region must reach a certain basic brightness to meet the regulations.

Most of the projection headlamps project light from a light source to a dark area through a lens after the light is reflected twice by a reflector and a light shielding plate. Although the function of compensating light in a dark area can be achieved, in practice, it is found that a headlamp module is formed by mounting a headlamp in a lamp housing, and then the whole headlamp module is mounted on a vehicle body. When the projection type headlamp is applied to the lamp shell with smooth shell wall, the light effect of the dark area is good, but when the projection type headlamp is applied to the lamp shell with more three-dimensional fluctuation structures, part of light can be deflected towards a non-preset direction by the lamp shell, the whole light form projected by the headlamp is damaged, and the light effect of the dark area is poor. In order to improve this problem, there is a method of improving the arrangement position, orientation angle and structure of the reflector and the light shielding plate, so as to first finely adjust the light path in the headlamp. Therefore, the applicant researches and develops another headlamp, and the good light-shading effect of the dark area can be maintained no matter what structure of the lamp housing is adopted.

Detailed Description

Before the present invention is described in detail, it should be noted that in the following description, like elements are represented by like reference numerals.

Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 3, a first embodiment of the projector headlamp of the present invention is adapted to be mounted in a lamp housing 1, where the lamp housing 1 includes a housing wall 11, and a light-transmitting wall 12 mounted in the housing wall 11 and capable of emitting light of the projector headlamp forward. The wall 11 has a plurality of turning portions 111, so that the lamp housing 1 has a three-dimensional shape. The projector headlamp of the first embodiment includes a reflector 2, a light shielding plate 3, a heat sink 4, a reflector 5, a lens 6, and a light emitting unit 7.

The reflector 2 includes an upper mirror portion 21, a lower mirror portion 22 cooperating with the upper mirror portion 21 to define a mounting space 20, and a first reflecting surface 23 formed by the upper mirror portion 21 and the lower mirror portion 22. The first reflecting surface 23 has an upper reflecting surface 231 formed on the upper mirror portion 21 and a lower reflecting surface 232 formed on the lower mirror portion 22. The lower reflecting surface 232 and the upper reflecting surface 231 are preferably elliptical reflecting surfaces.

The light shielding plate 3 is located in the installation space 20, and the thickness of the light shielding plate is gradually reduced from the back to the front. The light shielding plate 3 includes a second reflecting surface 31 facing backward, a top surface 32 extending forward from the top edge of the second reflecting surface 31, and a bottom surface 33 facing downward and gradually extending upward and obliquely forward from the bottom edge of the second reflecting surface 31. The light shielding plate 3 and the lens 6 of the first embodiment may be assembled into a module, but the implementation is not limited thereto, and the light shielding plate 3 is not necessarily combined with the lens 6.

The heat sink 4 includes a substrate 41 extending into the mounting space 20 and located between the upper mirror portion 21 and the lower mirror portion 22, and a plurality of heat dissipation fins 42 extending backward from the substrate 41.

The reflector 5 is located in the installation space 20 and behind the light shielding plate 3, and includes a forward third reflecting surface 51, the third reflecting surface 51 is formed with a plurality of left and right arranged diffusing structures 511 capable of diffusing the light reflected by the third reflecting surface 51 in the left and right directions, and the light is diffused and adjusted by the diffusing structures 511, so that the left and right direction irradiation range of the head lamp can be increased. The surface of each diffusion structure 511 of the first embodiment is curved backward. Specifically, the reflector 5 of the present embodiment is integrally connected to the front side of the substrate 41, and thus is combined with the heat sink 4 to form a component. The third reflective surface 51 of the reflector 5 can be formed by vacuum coating a film with reflective function on the front surface of the substrate 41, so as to achieve the design of integrally connecting the reflector 5 and the heat sink 4. The reflector 5 is formed on the heat sink 4 originally existing in the headlamp, so that the heat sink 4 also has a reflection function while being used for heat dissipation.

The lens 6 is located in front of the reflector 2 and the light shielding plate 3. The lens 6 is a convex lens. The light emitting unit 7 is located in the installation space 20 and behind the light shielding plate 3, and includes a first light emitting element 71 facing the upper mirror portion 21 and a second light emitting element 72 facing the lower mirror portion 22.

Referring to fig. 4, when the present invention is used, a part of light (such as the light path a in fig. 4) emitted from the first light-emitting element 71 is reflected by the upper reflecting surface 231 of the first reflecting surface 23 towards the front lower direction, and is emitted forward through the lens 6; part of the light (as the light path B in fig. 4) is reflected by the upper reflecting surface 231 toward the top surface 32 of the light shielding plate 3 and is emitted forward through the lens 6, thereby projecting a near light shape in accordance with the regulations.

Referring to fig. 5, on the other hand, a part of the light emitted from the second light emitting element 72 (as the light path C in fig. 5) is reflected by the lower reflecting surface 232 toward the front and upper direction, and then reflected by the bottom surface 33 of the light shielding plate 3, and then emitted forward through the lens 6. This portion of the light is projected mainly to a position above the cutoff line. Referring to fig. 4 and 5, the light shape formed by the second light-emitting element 72 and the first light-emitting element 71 simultaneously emitting light, i.e. the effect of the light path A, B matching with C, can project a high beam shape meeting the regulations. To summarize, when a high beam is to be used, both the second light emitting element 72 and the first light emitting element 71 are illuminated; when a proximity lamp is to be used (fig. 4), the first light-emitting member 71 is simply lit.

It should be noted that a part of the light emitted from the first light-emitting element 71 (as the light path D in fig. 5) can be reflected by the upper reflecting surface 231 of the first reflecting surface 23 toward the second reflecting surface 31 of the light-shielding plate 3, the light is reflected by the second reflecting surface 31 toward the third reflecting surface 51 of the light-shielding plate 5, and then the light is reflected forward and upward by the third reflecting surface 51 and emitted forward through the lens 6. The light of the part can be projected to an area (called as a dark area) above a cut-off line (cut-off line), so that the light of the dark area is reinforced, and the irradiation brightness and the driving safety of the head lamp can be improved.

Therefore, the light for reinforcing the dark area of the present invention is formed by matching the first reflection surface 23, the second reflection surface 31 and the third reflection surface 51, and the three reflection surfaces in total, which has the advantages that when the light shape and the light emitting angle must be adjusted to match the lamp housing 1 with a special structure, the three

reflection surfaces

23, 31 and 51 in total can be changed in design, and the proper reflection surface configuration is designed according to the three-dimensional structure of the lamp housing 1 by adjusting the structure, the position, the extending angle and the like of the reflection surfaces 23, 31 and 51, so that the light finally passing through the lamp housing 1 is projected to the predetermined direction, and the light effect of reinforcing the dark area is achieved. Compared with the prior art that only two elements, namely the reflector and the light screen, can be adjusted, the invention has the advantages that the process precision stability and the optical stability are easy to control, the light supplementing effect is good, the overall light shape projected by the headlamp is complete, the quality is ensured, the application is more flexible, and the light path adjustment can be conveniently carried out according to the types of the lamp shells. The lamp housing with smooth wall curve or the lamp housing with more fluctuating wall curve and more three-dimensional wall curve can be conveniently and correspondingly improved.

The present invention is not limited to headlamps having both a high beam and a low beam, and is not limited to high beams and low beams. Other headlamps that require reinforcement of the projected area light can be used with the triple reflection design of the present invention.

It should be noted that a focus 61 of the lens 6 of the present embodiment is located behind the lens 6, and the light shielding plate 3 is located behind the focus 61 (rather than in front of the focus 61), so that the light shielding plate 3 is less visible when the headlamp is viewed from the front, and the headlamp has an aesthetic effect.

Referring to fig. 6, in another aspect of the light shielding plate 3, the second reflecting surface 31 is formed with a plurality of diffusing surface portions 311 arranged left and right and capable of diffusing the light reflected by the second reflecting surface 31 left and right, and a surface of each diffusing surface portion 311 is curved forward. The light is diffused by the diffusion surface 311 to adjust the light shape, thereby increasing the irradiation range of the headlamp in the left-right direction.

Referring to fig. 7, a second embodiment of the projector headlamp of the present invention has substantially the same structure as the first embodiment, except that the heat sink 4 of the second embodiment is integrally connected to the light shielding plate 3 in addition to the reflector 5.

Referring to fig. 8, a third embodiment of the projector headlamp of the present invention is substantially the same as the first embodiment, except that the surface of the diffusing surface 311 of the second reflecting surface 31 of the light shielding plate 3 of the third embodiment is curved and protruded backward. The surface of each diffusion structure 511 of the reflector 5 is convex toward the forward arc. The diffusion surface portion 311 and the diffusion structure 511 of the third embodiment can increase the right-left direction irradiation range of the headlamp as well. In addition, the surface of the protruded diffusion surface portion 311 and the diffusion structure 511 are relatively designed as a concave in the manufacturing process, which is helpful to simplify the mold design and reduce the mold cost and the manufacturing cost.

The above description is only an example of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention should not be limited thereby, and the invention is still within the scope of the present invention by simple equivalent changes and modifications made according to the claims and the contents of the specification.
